PlayStation VR: PSVR Headset keeps disconnecting due to faulty cable?

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 17:01:24 -0700

Hi,

My PSVR has recently been diconnecting fewquently, mostyl when putting the headset on/off.

I've narrowed it down to the piece of cacle that comes from the headset itself, about 3-6inch along from where it enters the headset.

Any thoughts or ideas how to fix or replace this? I wish Sony made plug in cables to the head set as opposed to a sealed unit ;(

PlayStation VR: Where to get replacement lenses for the psvr headset?

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 15:28:13 -0700

My psvr headset, out of the box, had a pretty nasty scuff on the right lens.

This has been hindering my gameplay ability due to it messing with my eyes and distracting me at those critical moments...

I would appreciate any help towards fixing/replacing the lenses.

PlayStation VR: Dial on headband is not working

Fri, 17 Apr 2020 23:41:40 -0700

Hello, I’ve got a problem with my VR. I was trying to tight it on my head, but after few clicks with that white rear dial, it somehow slipped, and now it doesn’t lock the headband in position. I can move with it back and forth. So, I am not sure what could happend, I just send it for warranty repair, but I’m sure they won’t do anything and just tell me that it is mechanical fault caused by me. It seems like there is no info on the internet about this thing, and I could’t find any helpful video about disassembly of that mechanism. Do you have more informations to the step 15-17 Teardown PSVR.?

If it comes back untouched and broken I think that I could try something to repair it myself.

PS. English is not my first language.

Thank you for your answer

Best regards

Petr

PlayStation VR2: Cannot find analog replacement for playstation vr2 Sense controller

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 19:38:29 -0700

I have been searching every where Amazon, eBay, Google and cannot find a replacement analog module for the right PlayStation VR2 sense controller the closest I found is the one that fits the quest but I'm not sure about the size and I don't think that the ribbon would line up. does anyone know where I can get one ?

I have repaired the original and is working for now but I don't expect it to last long the prongs for the housing snapped so it's being held together with clear fingernail polish at the moment apparently PlayStation cheaped out these are horrible joysticks

PlayStation VR2: Can you use Polywatch Plastic to fix Lense Scratches?

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 16:40:01 -0700

Curious as a glasses user because it is bound to happen eventually that the lenses get a scratch on them on accident.

In the past, none of these scratches are very deep but I'm curious because I've heard for other headsets you could use it to remove minor scratches like those that might occur from glasses scratching against the lenses.

PlayStation VR: Spare Parts: Where can I get a replacement HDMI cable for the headset

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 17:10:22 -0700

This is the dual HDMI cable that includes the in line headphone control. I have a cut cable and want to purchase a replacement rather than having to pay Sony for a full out of warranty repair ($275 AUD).

The cable is terminated with a PCB header connector inside the headset and is fully replaceable, its just I cannot source one.

PlayStation VR: Why can't I turn on my PS VR headset?

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 22:33:50 -0700

I've been having trouble with my PS VR headset recently. The processing unit seems to be working fine as it has a red light on when the PS4 is off and a solid white light when the PS4 is on. However, although the VR headset is connected to the processing unit directly, nothing happens (no beep sound nor any lights on the headset come on) when I press the 'ON' button on the inline remote. I've checked all of the cables and nothing seems to be wrong. As my VR headset is out of warranty and I have spent a fortune on the headset, I really need the VR headset to work again. What should I do?

PlayStation VR2: ¿Can I change the psvr2 controller's joystick?

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:44:32 -0700

I dropped my controller and that was enough to destroy my joystick, now it has a severe drift to the right, which makes everything unplayable. So I oppened it and found that the joystick might be changed without welding it. So, are here generic pieces which I can buy? Thanks!

Hi there, does anybody have a solution better than Sony's £175 repair fee?? I've only used the item a couple of times but the warranty does not cover accidental damage. Am devastated! Do I really need to buy a new one?? The cable is attached to the Headset which I think is the main issue. Can it still not be re wired??

Thanks for any help in this matter

PlayStation VR: Can the pads be removed the from vr headset to avoid messy hair

Wed, 03 May 2017 10:24:47 -0700

Hi i simply want to ask is it possible to remove those pads that touch the front head as its messes up my hair

what is the most minimal way to wear the vr without messing the hair is there a solution of what can be removed from this humongous headband, especially the black protruding piece that touches directly the front top head

i know for some this is not important but when you have gel in your hair and this protruding head band piece which is black then covered with a cushion in the front is pressing directly on your front hair it just leaves the hair so messed up

I can tolerate little more weight to be not distributed evenly if they get removed as the messy hair after using the headband is way too much hassle

i appreciate if you can show how to get rid of it and be still functional to use as a headset
